AS an artist and women’s rights activist, Maliha Abidi is adept at using digital technologies, so when she came across non-fungible tokens (NFTs) she quickly figured they could be a way to reach more people, and for women artists to gain a bigger following.

Abidi, 25, who was born in Pakistan and migrated to the United States as a teenager, created her first NFT a few months ago – a type of asset which uses blockchain to record ownership of digital items such as images, videos and collectibles.
